After a hasty meal, the group went to rest.

In the study of the county magistrate, a shrewd middle-aged man said to Ji Zheng: "My lord, I don't think the fifth prince is not favored. My family may be a little bit wrong." Ji Zheng also nodded, This Zheng Ruoyan is strong and has a good spirit. He doesn't look like someone who was abused in the deep palace. It seems that the information given by my family is a bit wrong this time. Is it intentional or is it?The Ji family itself is not peaceful, who doesn't want to be the leader of the Ji family, who always wants to stay in such a remote and backward place.Ji Zheng said to the middle-aged man while writing a letter: "I have to ask about this matter clearly. Now it's better not to offend the fifth prince easily. The father-in-law next to him is someone the emperor values ​​very much."

I don't know what Zheng Ruoyan will think when he knows that he has to rely on a eunuch to be respected.

Although this is said to be the county magistrate's home, the place is not big, and it's not that Ji Zheng doesn't want to make it big, but first, I don't have many families, and second, there are few buildings here. Who grows food after building a house?So when Zheng Ruoyan came here, there was not enough room at all, so he had to share two or two rooms. In a slightly larger room, three to four people would be squeezed in. It was really depressing.

Naturally, Ji Ting wanted to share a room with Zheng Ruoyan, and although Yaojing didn't say anything, she didn't say anything when she saw Amoxing put their luggage in the same room.

The dark guards are also looking for companions, and many of them want to live with An Yi. After all, if they are hungry in the middle of the night, they can wake him up for supper, so it is worth sleeping together.An Wu picked out An Yi who was surrounded by the crowd, and then glanced at the other dark guards. The dark guards: Well, you win, you are the strongest, we dare not mess with you at all.Then An Wu proudly brought An Yi into the room, and An Yi also wanted to share a room with An Wu the most, because the two of them grew up together and had the best relationship.An Wu looked at An Yi who was packing his luggage like a daughter-in-law, and sighed silently, thinking about how long it took for this piece of wood to open up.

On the second day, Ji Ting didn't sleep well all night because he was a bit sleepy. He fell asleep around midnight. Zheng Ruoyan slept next to him, so he knew that Ji Ting went to bed very late last night. So now he is not willing to wake him up, but someone still wakes him up.A loud voice came from outside the courtyard: "Burn her to death! Burn her to death!" Ji Ting was woken up, squinting her eyes as if she didn't get enough sleep and asked Zheng Ruoyan, "Is something going on outside?"

Zheng Ruoyan touched Ji Ting's face and said, "I'll go out and have a look now, and you can sleep more."

Ji Ting couldn't sleep, Zheng Ruoyan just came here, it would be bad if something happened.So he also got up, and Bai Yi outside the door came in to serve as soon as he heard the movement in the room, Zheng Ruoyan asked: "Bai Yi, what happened outside the courtyard?"

While helping Zheng Ruoyan tidy his clothes, Bai Yi said, "It seems that a woman is going to be burned to death. The county magistrate has already gone out to look at it, and secretly stared at it from the tree."

Ji Ting thought about it for a while, the people here must be superstitious about something, the novels are written like this, if someone is going to be burned to death, that person must be a goblin.Ji Ting really wanted to see this goblin.

After a while, the two walked out of the courtyard and saw a woman in shabby sackcloth tied to a tree stump. The woman was pale, but she was still pretty. Around her was a group of angry men holding torches. Ordinary people, Zheng Ruoyan frowned, and Yaojing jumped from the tree to them as soon as he saw them coming out, gossiping and saying: "Tsk tsk, you see that you have something to do as soon as you come. My husband ate it, and it was her mother-in-law who stood at the front and said she was going to be burned to death."

Ji Ting: Sure enough, I did not guess wrong, it must be the fault of the goblin.Zheng Ruoyan frowned even more as he looked at Ji Zheng, who didn't care at all, and then led a few hidden guards over.As soon as Ji Zheng saw that Zheng Ruoyan was going to meddle in other people's business, he jumped up immediately. What's the point of meddling in this business? He couldn't hurt Zheng Ruoyan.Those excited people first saw a noble boy coming, and then saw the county magistrate hurriedly following him. The people were still very afraid of Ji Zheng, and the voices of those angry shouts became much lower.Zheng Ruoyan went straight to the tied woman and threw all the wood to the other side. Seeing this, the woman's mother-in-law seemed to want to scold Zheng Ruoyan, but the guards frightened the country mother-in-law with a single look. It was only before Ting left that she realized that the woman was covered in injuries and even had many bruises on her face, but she was still a beauty.

Zheng Ruoyan asked: "Did you kill your husband?" The reason why he asked so directly was not that Zheng Ruoyan was stupid, but that the people in the country were not as scheming as the people in the capital, and this woman looked so weak, if you asked too much If there is a problem, I am afraid that I will pass out, and there is no time to delay.

The woman looked at Zheng Ruoyan with blank eyes, and said, "I didn't kill my husband, I didn't kill him."

Her mother-in-law couldn't stand it anymore, and pointed at the woman and scolded: "You said you didn't eat my son? If you didn't eat it, where did my son go? The Taoist said you are a cannibal You are a goblin, if you still don’t admit it, I will definitely burn you to death today.” As he said this, he wanted to throw the burning torch on the woman, but the guards next to Zheng Ruoyan snatched the torch away and showed their swords one after another. Having seen such a scene before, everyone was too scared to move.

Ji Zheng is very irritable, is this going to take care of it to the end?Helpless, I had no choice but to shout: "You gangsters, how dare you burn people to death under the eyes of this official?"

The mother-in-law had an unbelievable expression on her face. Someone had done this before, but the county magistrate was in charge.Ji Zhengcai didn't care whether he had taken care of this kind of shit in the past, but now that the fifth prince wanted to take care of him, he had to bite the bullet, and then ordered the yamen guards to untie the woman and bring a group of related people to the yamen.Zheng Ruoyan was a little surprised by Ji Zheng's actions, thinking that Ji Zheng would stop him, but it's fine if he doesn't.

Entering the yamen, Ji Zheng sat on it, Zheng Ruoyan sat next to him, and Ji Ting stood beside Zheng Ruoyan, the middle-aged man who was negotiating in Ji Zheng's room yesterday was also standing next to Ji Zheng, and Ji Zheng was facing him Said: "Master, I trouble you to record it." The middle-aged man squatted on the ground with a notebook and prepared to record it. Hua is really poor here, and there is no more stool or table!

Ji Zheng patted the table, looked at the people below, and asked, "Grandma Tang, tell me why you burned your daughter-in-law to death?"

Granny Tang snorted, "She is not my daughter-in-law, she ate my son, my lord, you have to be the master of my son, that spiritual priest said that bitch is a cannibal, and she will be burned to death." She's going to burn her to death."

Ji Zheng frowned when he heard the words "Spirit Taoist priest". He had heard of the reputation of this Taoist priest. Many people who burned people to death or drowned someone before were related to this Taoist priest. At that time, he I don't want to take care of so much nosy and let those troublemakers go. Now it seems that this Taoist priest is not simple.Zheng Ruoyan looked at Ji Zheng who was in a daze, and thought that the Taoist priest and Ji Zheng were in collusion, so he interjected and asked Granny Tang: "You said your daughter-in-law ate your son, did you really see it with your own eyes?" Zhou Qing knelt on the ground, Her breath was weak, but when she heard Zheng Ruoyan's question, she couldn't help but retort: ​​"My lord, the girl didn't eat my husband, and my husband has been missing for several days now, please go and save my husband."

When the mother-in-law heard this, she wanted to go up and beat Zhou Qing. Ji Zheng signaled the yamen to stop her with a look. Granny Tang cursed: "You shameless goblin, my son was eaten by you, you goddamn son of a bitch!" Things." Zheng Ruoyan saw these scenes for the first time, and was deeply shocked by Bian Hua's stubbornness. First of all, how could Zhou Qing, a weak woman, eat her husband?Unless her husband is weaker than her, how can she eat with one bite?Secondly, Granny Tang kept saying that her daughter-in-law was a goblin. Could there really be goblins in the world?

Zheng Ruoyan shouted loudly: "Be quiet, I will help you find out who harmed your son. If you continue to make noise, I will put you in prison and calm down."

Granny Tang didn't dare to mess around anymore, after all, she was really afraid of being locked up in prison.Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Zheng Ruoyan looked at Zhou Qing and asked, "Tell me about what happened at that time?" Zhou Qing really wanted to talk about it, but Granny Tang has been beating herself up all these days, and today she tied herself to the It was said on the street that he was going to be burned to death, and his body could no longer hold on. He just wanted to speak but passed out.Zheng Ruoyan sighed helplessly looking at Zhou Qing who passed out, and ordered Bai Yi to find a doctor to come over to show her. Bai Yi said in embarrassment, "Master, there is no good doctor here." Here, the little cotton-padded jacket Bai Yi, who is the master, naturally needs to know the situation in Bian Hua, let alone how many doctors there are, even the son of Lao Yang from the next village is actually the son of Lao Wang from the next village. Know!Who would let me be a caring little padded jacket, I still need this skill, lest I just let An Yi compete for the limelight.

Zheng Ruoyan had no choice but to look at Ji Ting helplessly. Ji Ting nodded and stepped forward to check Zhou Qing's situation.Zhou Qing didn't eat well, didn't sleep well these few days, and was beaten by Granny Tang every day. With the strong wind today, his whole body was scalding hot. He must have a high fever. Ji Ting asked Bai Yi to help him up. on the table, and then told the yamen to cook the medicine.Granny Tang didn't like Zhou Qing being treated so well, but seeing Zheng Ruoyan's vicious expression, she didn't dare to say anything, after all, her life was more important.Then Ji Ting ordered a few maids to bring some clothes over. Those maids were servants of the county magistrate. Zheng Ruoyan had no maids to serve him. Since he was almost strangled to death by a maid when he was five years old, he never ordered her around again. girl.Those girls may not be willing to find clothes for Zhou Qing to wear. Who knows if Zhou Qing will die, if he dies, the clothes will be stained with death, which is unlucky.Zheng Ruoyan saw that the girls hadn't gone to get it yet, so he questioned: "Why don't you go get it? Do you want me to go get it in person?" The girls turned to look at Ji Zheng again, and Ji Zheng nodded helplessly. Zheng Ruoyan, who just went to get the clothes, was so angry that even these girls didn't listen to him, that's right, he doesn't have any skills now, so he must strengthen his strength in the future.

Ji Ting said to Zheng Ruoyan: "Ms. Zhou's condition is not very good. It must be because she has been ill for a long time and she must be very uncomfortable." The husband is gone, and the mother-in-law is still burning herself, alas.

Zheng Ruoyan said to Ji Zheng: "This case will be tried later." Granny Tang was the first to be reluctant, but after Zheng Ruoyan glanced at her, she dared not say anything.

In desperation, he had no choice but to bring other relatives home.Although Ji Zheng didn't agree with Zheng Ruoyan's actions, but whoever called Zheng Ruoyan the prince, if he disagreed, he had to agree.At night, Zhou Qing still didn't fully wake up, and occasionally said something, Ji Ting looked a little anxious, but Master Wu was not there at this time of saving lives, it seemed that he took Amo Xing to some ghost mountain, It's really naughty.

Zheng Ruoyan put his arms around Ji Ting, who was so irritable that he was walking back and forth, and said with a smile, "Ting'er, why are you so irritable? Does this girl look so beautiful that your heart aches?"

As soon as Ji Ting heard this, he gave Zheng Ruoyan a hard punch. I'm still worried about you. If something happens to this girl, how will the case be tried?The common people still think you are useless, so how can you build up the prestige of the people?

Zheng Ruoyan was just teasing Ji Ting, and didn't want to see Ji Ting so troubled.In the study room on the other side, Ji Zheng looked at the letter he received today. The letter only said "Do not mess with". It seems that Zheng Ruoyan still has some skills.Since the superior ordered me not to provoke Zheng Ruoyan, then I had to please Zheng Ruoyan, and not to provoke him meant to please.So I discussed a few more words with the master, and then I came out of the room. As soon as I came out, I saw Wang Yatou hurriedly walking towards the kitchen with a bowl. Ji Zheng called her. I can't be secretly happy, is it possible that the master has taken a fancy to me?As it turns out, she was thinking too much.Ji Zheng asked her with a serious face: "Did Zhou Qing just drink the medicine?"

Girl Wang replied: "Yes, master."

"Still awake?"

"Yes, sir, Miss Zhou Qing has been in a coma for a long time."

Ji Zheng felt a little bad. If he thought Zhou Qing was dead before, he would have died, so that he would not have to waste energy trying to interrogate her. But now that he is flattering Zheng Ruoyan, he can't let Zhou Qing die. After all, the fifth prince His Highness wanted to intervene in this matter, after thinking for a while, he asked Maid Wang to go to the warehouse to get some good medicine and cook it for Zhou Qing in the kitchen.When Miss Wang boiled the good medicine and brought it to Ji Ting, Ji Ting knew it was good medicine as soon as she asked about the taste of the medicine. It should be ordered by Ji Zheng. No matter what purpose Ji Zheng has, it is important to save people now, so he quickly fed Zhou Qing the medicine.

Good medicine is really good medicine, Zhou Qing woke up after a while.
